Ive followed a guide to setting up the adb shortcut on my desktop, however something isn't right. Does anyone have a guide to get me started? I want to learn adb commands before I s-off incase I ever need to s-on for an exchange.
If anyone is interested in helping, I can link the guide I followed, and explain the steps I took.
I'm starting to get frustrated now..
I've been watching YouTube videos, and still nothing.
I've downloaded Android SDK for windows, extracted the zip to my Desktop and renamed the file to AndroidSDK. Than placed the file in the root of my C:, than right-clicked on my computer from the start menu > properties > advanced > environment variable, and added ;C:\AndroidSDK\tools, Ok > Ok > Ok.
Go to start > run > cmd. Command prompt comes up with a line that reads C:\Documents and Settings\Mark>. I type adb and it spits this out..
'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file
Does anyone know what is going on here? I'm on Windows XP
You should probably use the Android SDK with the installer..
---------- Post added at 03:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:57 PM ----------
Once you install it run SDK Manager as administrator (right click "run as administrator") boxes open, check the box "Android SDK Platform-tools", Android 4.0.3 (if you want) and Google USB Driver package.
thank you, I will give that a shot.
I went back, and uninstalled everything, and deleted the AndroidSDK file from the root of C: so that I could start fresh with the android SDK installer. If that does not work, I will give the run as admin way a shot.
wait for all then then go to start (orb whatever) right click on computer select properties then advanced system settings, environment variables. Under system variables click path then hit the edit button, add this to the end:
;C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools
reboot

In my experience after installing the basic android sdk when I went to download the rest of the tools (platform-tools) the sdk would cry that it couldn't install. Running it as admin (yes I'm already an admin on my machine) solved that problem. Good luck and may the force be with you..
---------- Post added at 03:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:07 PM ----------
Also the key to adb is really the environment path.. so your system know were to find it.
Of course I'm assuming your using a version of windows.
Yes, I am running windows xp from a Dell laptop.
I just went through the Android SDK installation process and still have the same output when I go to put in an adb command.
I am the computer admin, as I do not have any other account on this computer.

Did you add the path?
---------- Post added at 03:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:16 PM ----------
Yours would probably be:
;C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools
I think I may have been missing some things. After the installer finished, I was trying to use adb right from there. I did not install any platform tools or anything.
So if I'm going to be using ADB for GB 2.3.4 (what the Rez came with) and 4.0 (the leaks for the Rez) do I need to download both, with will 4.0 cover all android versions below it?

the installer would not have added the path for me?
Yes the Android SDK does not install platform tools that why I said to run SDK Manager and check the boxes to install it. Then add the install location to your windows path. It wont work otherwise.

No it wont add the path it assumes your going to run adb directly from the platform-tools folder.
I understand now. The tools are all downloading now, and I entered the path. I'm on a rather slow internet connection right now, so I will report back after everything is done, and I reboot.
One last question.
Do I need to install the Android 2.3.3 and Android 4.0 x packages?

I just had a similar experience with installing adb on my computer last week. Couldn't get the computer to recognize fastboot commands. Someone told me to change the directory in cmd prompt using "cd c:\" Etc etc, and redirect the directory to the folder where your adb files are, then it worked like a charm. Hope this helps.

This is generally not necessary if you set the environment variable.

Even after setting the environment variable, I still needed to change the directory. Maybe I chose the wrong folder for the environment variable? Oh well, it works for me now. Just sharing my experience with adb.

Trying to follow lakehousetech's guide Viewpad 7 Backup, Root & Recovery guide, and Super One Click 1.7 basically refuses to work, always hangs on "Waiting on device", using two good known cables and two good known USB ports (front and back).
Found out about the Gingerbreak 1.2 apk, managed to jailbreak and get Super User installed.
So as I move onto the Stock Backup step in the guide, I need to run ADB Shell. So I open up cmd.exe and navigate to the C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools folder and launch "ADB Shell", it starts the server, but ultimately gives me a "Error: device not found".
Are there drivers I need to install?
Do I need this busybox app installed?
Seemed to need them in rooting my HTC Doubleshot (MyTouch4gSlide). What am I doing wrong here?

you need to run adb shell from the drive letter youre pc gives when youre viewpad is logged in mine is g:\ thats the virtual cdrom drive from youre viewpad.
open cmd
cd g:\
adb shell
check if the drive letter is correct with youre system then it`s ok and youre gonne be fine
you need to run the setup too when youre plug youre device on youre pc youre getting a sync program but it also installs de driver just leave the program running in the background dont do anything just let it minimazed hope you get it to work

Ok, i'll copy the ADB.exe file to the H:\ drive on the phone, then use the Windows command line interface to manually navigate to that drive and launch ADB from that folder. Is there anything else I should copy to that folder, other than the image and clockwork file?
There is no virtual CD rom drive letter asigned, just a flash drive letter. Also, what is the setup? There is no setup.exe on the phone drive letter to launch.
PS
Thanks for the advice.

Again, this is not a CD-Rom drive letter, its just some 2.472 gb partition. My Viewpad does not create a CD-Rom drive or image when I connect it to my PC (Windows7 64bit). In device manager, I can clearly see two "VS Viewpad 7e USB Device" listings, but only one of them generates a drive letter. I can see another drive partition in Disk Management, but cannot mount it like I can do other SATA drives.
mine is a auto run setup when i connect the pad also in the drive mine creats there is a adb exe i dont have to copy it dont mount the viewpad for file transfer what youre showing me is the sd card it suppose to show a virtue drive when you plug in the device without mountin it on youre pad
But what kind of do you got the viewpad 7 or viewpad 7e for 7e there is no rom no cwm

So brand new, out of the box, you plug your viewpad into your PC and presto, creates a virtual cd drive and ADB is pre-loaded ready to run shell?
I have the Viewpad 7e, running Android 2.3.1, Kernel version 2.6.35.7-svn ([email protected] #58).
I suppose emailing Viewsonic in regards to getting Google Marketplace installed is pointless, so I might just have to return this product. The fact that I cannot boot into recovery mode tells me this device is defective.

Ok, ive managed to get Marketplace installed, but its like every 4th app wont install and its not because of file space.
I flat out need to install clockwork recovery mod, but cant due to adb shell never finding my device.
Yes I have my device rooted (using gingerbreak 1.20 as super one click never worked)

problem 2:
when im running the "adb devices" in at the location of "platform-tools" my tablet device is not listing under the devices.
please please please give me a solution for it.
Based off the work of thecubed over in the Nook Color forums, I've created the equivalent ADB Driver installer for the Sony Tablets including the new Xperia Tablet S.
thecubed's original thread for the Nook Color: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=910008
The installer is fully automated and negates the need to install the Android SDK or edit any files.
It has been tested under Windows 7 x32 and x64 and should also work for Vista and XP.
========================================
As of 2012 November, Windows 8 requires you to disable driver signing and MANUALLY install the drivers.
Method A:
Open an ADMINISTRATOR Command Prompt:
To disable driver signing, copy/paste the following commands:
bcdedit -set loadoptions DISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS
bcdedit -set TESTSIGNING ON
[RESTART]
(on your desktop you'll see the watermark: "Test mode'" until you re-enable driver signing).
Re-enable driver signing:
bcdedit -set loadoptions ENABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS
bcdedit -set TESTSIGNING OFF
[RESTART]
Method B:
From the Metro Start Screen, open Settings,
Click "Change PC Settings".
Click "General".
Scroll down, and click "Restart now" under "Advanced startup".
Click "Troubleshoot".
Click "Advanced Options".
Click "Startup Settings".
Click [Restart].
Choose "Disable driver signature enforcement" (Usually #7)
Install device drivers either through the automated tool or manually.
========================================
(If you're running Windows XP, you may also need to manually install the MTP [media transfer protocol] drivers located here: http://android.mrboot.de/index.php?/archives/6-Sony-Tablet-S-MTP-driver-for-3G-version.html Thanks to cbuckmiller]
It should be quick and painless for 95% of users but if the your tablet still shows up as an unknown device, I've also included step-by-step instructions to manually install the drivers (README.txt).
ADB is also bundled in the ZIP file so you can run "adb devices" as well as any other commands.

Hi, I had to revert back to xp 32bit from w7(dont ask why), problem is Im having problems getting adb sorted. I plug my tablet in and I get a triple ping(!!) instead of the usual 2. Anyways, in device manage it comes up with an explaination mark. Ok i install the automated drivers and xp still does not install them. I make the wizard find the drivers but it reports that drivers not installed.
I feel like a right noob, window 7 was so easy.

Looked at above and it just gives aload of writing.
Confirming this also works for ICS updated devices.
I keep getting "error: device not found" when starting ADB (debugging is enabled). Using Android SDK adb is ok.
Also, why does the .ini have " " instead of normal spaces? I don't know if it causes problems, but I took them out when manually installing. After that, there was only the composite device listed, which I installed.

Uninstall the device and check the "Delete existing files/drivers."
Restart, and try the installation again.
If there was an existing ADB driver from another Android device, it may not install correctly since it can't append to the existing Android ADB support INF.

I can get adb to run but it will not find my device. when I run adb devices I get adb is not recognized. Ive been messing with this for days now. Please help. It worked when I had htc sync installed.
Try installing HTC device drivers then enable debugging and just plug the phone in and if the driver missing it will install. Then unplug jump into fastboot and plug it in again and wait. Again if the driver is missing, it will install

where am I typing this in cmd? Sorry
yes, in terminal you use cd (change directory) to navigate the file system. cd .. goes up one directory and cd (directory) navigates to specified directory
When I get into adb I typed adb devices and it says adb is not recognized as an internal command.

No, at this point I am not very familiar with lazy panda, I understand the underlying process but I have not had any actual experience with it
I managed to accidentally flash the BLADE boot.img for CM10.1 to my phone before I transferred the ROM across to my SD card.
Didn't think this was a problem.. went into recovery to Mount USB Storage. Didn't work, so I flashed TWRP to see if it worked on there. No luck.
Tried performing a restore of the full working stock sense and wiped caches so I could try to transfer it over the OS. again no luck.
I've even tried pushing the .zip file to the sdcard using adb (run cmd as admin and use 'adb push ROM.zip /sdcard/ROM/') with no luck. It just tells me the device isn't connected. The drivers are definitely installed (fastboot is working).
I'm all out of ideas. If anyone could point me in the right direction, I'd be grateful. Thank you!

Is there another way of accessing the SD Card through recovery?
No except adb, but that only works with twrp. Why not flash a stock rom, and copy the rom to the SD Card while booted into android.

You might not be able to directly access your sd card, but you can most likely use adb sideload to load the CM10.1 ROM onto your device and regain functionality. Check this out for more information: http://teamw.in/ADBSideload

Yeah while I was waiting for replies. I did a lot of research into adb sideloading and I pretty much get it now.. Only problem is that I'm running Windows 8 which has a whole bunch load of problems with adb... can't get it to recognise my device even with the correct drivers installed. Followed a few guides on the internet, but to no avail.
Does anyone know of anything that works? Or do I have to install it all on a W7 PC?

Only problem is that I'm running Windows 8 which has a whole bunch load of problems with adb... can't get it to recognise my device even with the correct drivers installed. Followed a few guides on the internet, but to no avail.
Does anyone know of anything that works? Or do I have to install it all on a W7 PC?

Do you have the latest SDK downloaded from google? I can confirm on windows 8 sideload through command prompt works fine in the platform tools folder. This is through CWM in my experience. i have not messed with TWRP

I downloaded and installed it today.
I'll go through exactly what I've done..
- Installed Java SDK
- Installed Android SDK
- Installed platform tools and usb driver
- Installed HTC Sync
- Opened hasoon's toolkit for the One X+
- Booted into TWRP and selected Advanced > Side Load
- Used the side load button on the toolkit.
I've also tried pushing files using the command line directly and cd-ing to the platform tools folder. This is what brings up the error connecting to device message. I've also started getting messages about starting daemon? No clue what that means.

Ignore the toolkit. That thing is less than stellar. Open the platform tools folder in the android SDK directory (default should be C: Android) Place the ZIP file of the rom you wish to flash in this directory. Hold shift and right click in blank space in the android sdk folder. Select "open command window here" (or something along those lines, not at my desk). type "adb kill-server" and then type the command "adb sideload romname.zip"
I recommend using CWM as I know this works on that. I do not use TWRP. You are welcome to try it with TWRP though.

I have tried this method before too. It brought up the error message. I'll try it again in a minute and let you know. I'll also try it on CWM, but I read somewhere that CWM didn't support it? TWRP 100% does. It has an option for it in GUI.
EDIT: my android sdk in burried in Users/x/AppData/Local/Android/ .. Should I re-install in C:\Android ?

That sounds like it is in the wrong place. That is usually a temporary folder. Check your c drive, it may also be labeled adt bundle and may be in program files. Sideload is an option in CWM by lloir by default which can be found in the original development section.

Alternatively after rereading your OP. If you have not wiped anything you could just flash your old boot.img

About to reinstall the Android SDK (uninstalled and rebooted PC). I should install it to C:\Android ? (This folder doesn't exist currently)
I've also never set the environment variables as the Android SDK installed fine. Should I set these?
Also tried that.. it just hangs

Download the android SDK bundle from google and install to C: Android, if it does not exist let it create it (i would still bet it is somewhere in your C drive but ok). I do not know what comes stock but i typically launch the SDK (NOT ECLIPSE) and allow it download all of the files associated with android (probably not needed). There should be an sdk folder inside the c android folder. in that is the platform tools folder. This is where you will open your command window and run the previously mentioned commands.

If it is CWM give it a few minutes (literally like 5). Never used TWRP but it could take some time as well.

Nothing came up for the kill-server command but it did pause.. so I'm guessing it did something.
The rest ran pretty quick but the phone hasn't received anything and is just sitting there (using CWM to keep my battery charged)

Flash the stock recovery (I do not have this as you appear to be on the international variant). Download your RUU (search the forums, I know it is here somehwere but the usual htcruu.com is now down....) boot into your boot loader and run the command "fastboot oem lock" Hit the power button to select hboot from the list and then just run the executable.

Can't relock the bootloader without working drivers.. this is beyond annoying now ¬.¬
EDIT: Relocked but not enough battery to flash RUU. Do I just run the RUU from the computer while the phone is at the home menu in the bootloader?
I'm using a batch file to charge the device over night. Will try again tomorrow.
SOS HELP my rom htc one is no instructions for installation and not one through fastboot. The phone lets me enter the bootloader and recovery but 0MB SD card appears as though that is also off. and try to ride it but I get this error E: Can not mount sdcard and will not let me ride it.
I would appreciate your help and you guys are the ultimate in this.
All this happened in a string of bad events when I was installing the rom revolotion 10.0
THANKS IN ADVANCE.
Seems like you deleted the sd card which has the rom on it.
Your have to fastboot the rom to it.
I don't remember the steps but they are in here

download all in one toolkit and use it to erase cache and install recovery. you must be booted to bootloader with fastboot usb at top if it says hboot at the top press power once and it will say fastboot usb

I've already erased the cache through fastboot but its still bootlooping
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using xda premium
probably need to reflash the rom. erasing cache in fastboot is only to get you into recovery when it doesnt load. if you have already flashed the rom and its bootlooping wiping cache and davlik sometimes helps

ok ok guys dont panic, this is as easy as pie, boot your phone into recovery and connect to pc, then adb push a new rom to /data/media/ and then install the rom you just pushed.

excuse you could be more specific about the adb push, how to do because every time I put some command with adb in fastboot I get an error that ADB is not a recognizable command

ok since you have unlocked your bootloader i assume you have full htc drivers and android sdk installed, if you do open a command window in the platform tools folder and type the following command: adb push (exact name of the rom you want to push) /data/media/ and you will notice that the cursor jumps down and nothing happens but in about 4-7 (depending on the size of the rom) you will get a message in the cmd that says x bytes transferred. Very important make sure you move the rom you want to push to the platform tools folder and that you type the exact name of it in the command followed by .zip
here is an example command: adb push TrickDroid.zip /data/media/
PM me to add you on skype or something to help you realtime.

ok bro another thing, make sure you are opening the cmd in the correct folder, the correct folder should have the adb file in it, it's in the folder called platform-tools, just press shift+right click in platform tools and select open command promt window here and use the adb devices command.
